Energy Production with Hybrid Energy Systems: Case Study of Batman

Due to their pollution of the environment and the damage they cause to human health

renewable energy sources have emerged as a promising solution amid ongoing efforts to find alternatives to fossil fuels and nuclear energy. There are hybrid energy system applications consisting of two or more renewable energy sources. In this study

a hybrid power plant design utilizing solar and diesel energy was developed for Aksu Village

consisting of 36 households in the Hasankeyf district of Batman province

with the help of the HOMER Pro Program. A hybrid system connected to the electricity grid was considered

with solar energy panels to be used when needed. It was determined that the settlement would consume 450

000 kWh of electricity per year in 2023

which is an average of 37

500 kWh per month and 1

250 kWh per day. When the cost analysis of the hybrid system was performed

the lowest-cost system required an initial capital of 8

378

332 TL ($288

908) and an annual operating and maintenance cost of 1

724

949 TL ($59

481). Based on the electricity data used for the system

the cost per kW was found to be 5

104 TL ($0.176).
